Elisa was born in Mexico in a bicultural family: Spanish and Mexican. For the last 5 years she has participated in different research projects: tapirs in the Maya Rainforest (Mexico), meerkats in the Kalahari (South Africa), wolves in Yellowstone National Park (U.S.), and felines in the west part of Mexico. Her current research interests are in behavioural ecology and carnivore conservation. Elisa's work for her PhD focuses on competition of large African carnivores, more specifically how African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) cope with the competition with larger carnivores (lions and spotted hyaenas) in a system with limited surface water availability in Zimbabwe.
